𓆣𓆣 In its seven or eight days of life, the kit has known nothing more than this. Warmth pressed in at all sides, the occasional kick or squeal from the littermates around it, and the rarer shifting of its source of food away, which draws a series of high-pitched squawks from Goldenrodkit each time it happens. At the very least, their nest is warm and comfortable, but the writhing of bodies around it makes the scrap of fur long for something better than this. It does not quite know why it does so, but instead of lying contained at its mother's side, Goldenrodkit begins to climb the body in front of it. Uncoordinated and slow, it is only because there are six kits to keep track of that it manages to scale the fluffy obstacle in its way. It recognizes the obstacle as its caretaker, the source of everything in its life so far, but in the moment Wisteriastrike is nothing more than a hurdle in the way.

Finally, with its mountain climbed and its energy fully expended, the kit's limbs splay out with a heavy exhale. Yet, after climbing atop its mother's body, there is only one place left to go: back down. Its tiny paws scrabble for purchase, but Wisteriastrike's fur offers none, and the kit goes slipping down the other side of its dam's flank. Falling onto the side, separated from its siblings, blind and deaf to the world, the kit is truly lost. It gives a warbling cry, feeble and fragile against the moss beneath its paws, before attempting to scuttle its way out of the nest entirely.

MAGGOTKIT

The small kitten wasn't old enough to understand what was going on around it. It couldn't see, couldn't hear properly, and yet something was missing and Maggotkit felt it. Perhaps it felt the lack of a warm body, reduced from six to five, or, and this was more likely, it noticed the lack of kicking and shoving received. Maggotkit always seemed to have found itself the receiving end of its siblings' emotions or goals, always in the way, to be pushed away. Now the world was still and Maggotkit rested in peace. Or, it tried to at least, but this change was strange - it had always known the kicks of its siblings and to receive none was something Maggotkit wasn't familiar nor comfortable with.

And so Maggotkit went on a search to find what was missing, though it did not understand that it was its sibling. Crawling came naturally to the kitten, the pathetic, blind movements the only thing it has known. But suddenly the world turned cold as Maggotkit reached the end of the moss-lined nest and fell to the ground, the texture rough and painful. The kitten wanted to escape the cold, the rough feeling rubbing against its stomach, and pressed on further, not knowing what turning back means just yet.

If anyone watched the kitten, they would have known it crawled in the opposite direction from its sibling - but Maggotkit had no way of knowing, with no concept of direction, no sense of what the world was actually like.

My mother says, "Your whole life's in the paws of the Stars"

Tickfrost's silhouette melted into the dim light of the nursery, the scent of milk and moss wrapping around him like a half-remembered dream. Warmth, muffled mews, the soft rhythm of tiny breaths, all of it pulled something deep in his chest. For a moment, he wasn't Tickfrost, warrior of ShadowClan, but a small scrap of fur again, tucked beneath the belly of a queen who wasn't his by blood but had loved him just the same. He missed her, in his own quiet way. And he realized that Mirepurr... Had filled up that hole in his heart. An anchor, his guide, the only figure that had ever truly filled that hollow space called 'parent.' He'd never said it aloud, never would. But as he stood in the nursery, surrounded by new life, the weight of that unspoken truth pressed heavy against his ribs.

Movement caught his eye, a kit, tumbling clumsily over the edge of their mother, little paws pushing away from Wisteriastrike. A soft huff escaped him as he bent down, his shadow falling over the tiny escapee. " Hey, hey... " His voice came low and even, a rumble of amusement beneath it. " Where do you think you're going, kit? " He scooped the squirming bundle up gently between his jaws, padding to the other side of the nest. Tickfrost set the kit down with a soft chuckle. " Stay put, troublemaker... " he murmured softly, careful not to wake Wisteriastrike, then caught sight of another wriggler trying to follow in its sibling's pawsteps.

" Oh, not you too. " he muttered, leaning in to nudge the second kit back toward warmth and safety. The tiny mewl that answered made something ache behind his ribs. " Your ma and siblings' the other way, kit. Not much waiting for you out there but cold wind and loud warriors. " He lingered at the nest, his tail curling around his paws. For a brief, fragile heartbeat, the world outside didn't exist, no starving bellies, no bloodied Gatherings, no cold nights creeping closer. Just warmth. Breath. Life.
